“Without cunning, there is no innovation. Without ambition, there is no accomplishment.”
“Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.”
“The paradox of innovation is that it is accepted as an innovation when it has become imitation.”
“Without trust there’s no way that any organization can sustain innovation. Because without trust no one is willing to take the risks that innovation require.”
“Now I should rather suppose there is no reason for it: it is the fashion to be unhappy. To have a reason for being so would be exceedingly commonplace: to be so without any is the province of genius.”
